Hi,

I am looking for a front end to Excel that allows someone who is not
computer literate to still be able to enter data.

Like a form I guess where the filed or column is shown and they just
fill in the text, then go to the next col as opposed to doing it in a
spreadsheet way.

I have looked at the Excel Form option but I need something a little
more than that.

Thanks

If Microsoft Access is an option, I would recommend using that
instead. Access provides much more flexibility than Excel with
building a data entry form. The data are entered in a form you create,
and stored in a table that the user never has to interact with.

x2 for MS Access - but if you are going it alone, the learning
curve may rule it out.

hi Rock
I wrote a little share trading system that does something similar...
Take a look, feel free to modify it for your own needs.
